The next big flag was Mary's new interest in roast beef. When I would pick her up from the bus station after she got back from her classes, the next stop would always be Arby's or Hy-Vee to buy a pound of Angus-cut roast beef. Start typing "strange food cravings" into Google and two of the five suggestions involve pregnancy, which is less that I assumed but a tell-tale sign nonetheless.
Some friends were planning to visit us for the Forth of July weekend and invariably alcohol would be consumed, so we figured it was probably a good time to see if our suspicions were correct. After seeing Cars 2 with some friends, we proceeded to Wal-Mart and purchased a pregnancy test. You can see the results for yourself.
And yes, two lines means you have a bun in the oven. Pregnancy test are actually a cool piece of biotechnology. Maybe I'll talk about them in a later post. A second test confirmed the results, so no drinking for Mary on the Forth or waterslides at Schlitterbahn. But a baby far outweighs either of those two activities. After the first test, we called the doctor and we couldn't get in until July 11th. The wait would be tough.
